Default Lubrication

I am new to the S2000. Today I changed the differential fluid with Amsoil 75W 110 and the transmission fluid with Royal Purple Synchromax. Removed the shifter cleaned and lubricated it with Honda hight temp grease. I noticed that the shifting is a little smoother.
While under the car I looked high and low for some greasing points and found none. Can someone let me know what needs to be lubricated.
Thank you

There are no grease zerk fittings if thats what you were looking for. There is no need for grease gun.

Engine oil, trans, diff. Clutch fluid (do a gravity bleed to initially swap all fluid, then every oil change turkey baster out resevoir and refill). Brake fluid (do a full swap at least every two years, gravity bleed).

There is a thread for new owners. Very comprehensive. Lots of important little things to do and inspect. Search for that thread.

You can "lube" up the rubber fittings and seals with a quality silicone grease. A little goes a very long way. You will see the term "Shinitsu" as that is the Honda grease but it is simply a silicone dielectric grease that you can find at automotive parts stores. I prefer 3M automotive grease. Comes in handy for household stuff as well as brake fittings and a few other things. 400C melt temp.

Anyway, work it in by hand to rubber seals to keep them fresh and sealing properly. Too much and it will leave a residue on the glass or your person and attract dirt.

Another area to look at is the hood latch mechanism. Also the door latches, door hinges and the trunk hinge. Mine was very dried out. Again, a little goes a long way. The other small thing that makes a difference is the clutch free play adjustment. Hard to explain it in print but there is a good video here:
